The Undrowned Child

Read by Lucy Scott
Teodora has always longed to visit Venice. And at last she has her chance. But strange and sinister things are afoot in the beautiful floating city. Teo is quickly subsumed into a secret world in which saltty-tongued mermaids run subversive printing presses, ghosts good and bad patrol the streets and librarians turn fluidly into cats. A battle against forces determined to destroy the city once and for all quickly ensues. Only Teo, the undrowned child who survived a tragic accident as a baby, can go ‘between-the-linings’ to subvert evil and restore order.

Pig City

Read by Jennifer Woodward
When Laura Sibbie starts a secret club at school she calls it Pig City, after the funny hat she always wears. To make sure that none of the members tells anyone else about the club, Laura makes them give her something totally embarrassing as ‘insurance’. She promises to keep the insurance secret – unless someone talks about Pig City. Gabriel, who never tells on anybody, would be a perfect member of Pig City. He wants to join, but when Laura asks him, something goes terribly wrong!

“Mr Stink stank. He also stunk. And if it was correct English to say he stinked, then he stinked as well!” Chloe sees Mr Stink every day, but she’s never spoken to him. Which isn’t surprising, because he’s a tramp, and he stinks. But there’s more to Mr Stink than meets the eye (or nose) and before she knows it, Chloe has an unusual new friend hiding in her garden shed.
